Esther7:2

2 And the king said again to Esther, on the second day, at the banquet of wine , What is thy petition, queen Esther? and it shall be granted thee: and what is thy request? and it shall be performed, even to the half of the kingdom.

So it is called to note that it was not designed for a seast to fill their bellies, but rather for a banquet to delight and please their palates with wine and other delicacies, see on ch. 5. 8.

Marginal references: Ch. 5. 6.
